Description
A young woman is missing, but has she run away – or been captured?
A dying cop asks DCI Christine Caplan to fulfil her last wish: to investigate a cold case that’s still preying on her mind. The naked body of a young man that was found in a lonely wood, dismissed as a down and out by her superiors. Caplan connects the case to other victims left to die in the bleak Scottish forests, injured and unable to escape. As the scent grows stronger, the cold cases suddenly seem dangerously hot.
In this thrilling hunt for the missing girl, Caplan must trace where love and control get out of hand, and question where power lies in any relationship. Meanwhile, the dark nights of Scotland conceal a terrifying game of cat and mouse . . .
This gripping Scottish police procedural meets twisted psychological thriller, featuring a complex and fascinating female protagonist, is a perfect choice for fans of tartan noir and authors Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and William McIlvanney.

Out Of The Dark is the third in the DCI Caplan series, and probably the best yet. Caplan investigates a missing young woman with family links to a former senior officer. A dying former colleague asks her to visit and alludes to a number of unsolved cases that were not takes seriously. Caplan takes up the challenge ...
The DCI and her team find themselves embroiled in something much bigger than they could have thought. The case takes them across rural Scotland, seeking some very devious and twisted criminals. With elements of police politics, psychological control and a cunning cover up, this is a complex plot.
Out Of The Dark has a relatively slow pace, the case developing from small clues and deductions. It is gripping and intriguing in equal measures as Caplan and co near the solution. Overall, an excellent read.
